Criminals were able to steal more than $1 million in Level Finance’s native token exchange (LVL) due to a security issue with the decentralized exchange (DEX) the company uses.
The cryptocurrency site informed its users that more than 214,000 LVL were removed from the exchange and converted for 3,345 Binance Coin (BNB) coins, which are worth over $1 million. The LevelReferralControllerV2 smart contract on the network included a problem, according to blockchain security firm Peckshield. Sending referral requests repeatedly was made possible.
DeDotFiSecurity says that the referral scheme has now been discontinued, and the exploit has been blocked.
